Removing Bankruptcy Dismissal from Credit Reports

[degross77]

Hello - in 2008 I started filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but never went through with it because I found a job (was unemployed due to economny downturn for a year). it now shows up on my credit report, not really with any information but still under public record. And it shows up as 2010.

 

How do I get this removed from my credit report earlier than the 7-10 years that a normal bankruptcy would take?

 

I read articles saying write letters to the credit agencies, also write letters to the bankruptcy court for information sent to the credit agencies, but wasn't sure if if this was true, or what specifics to include?

 

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. I am trying to buy a house and clean up my credit.

Thanks! Anything in particular you said in your dispute letters? I have tried already, once, so as I go into round 2 any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

How long ago was this? Was this recent? I ask this for the sake of another CBer who is wrestling with a public record.
